Chapter 5: Misunderstandings, and Crazy Ex's
After talking I fell asleep right beside him. I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at Alex. He truly was beautiful, not just physically but I knew where he had his heart set, and I liked that about him. He was snoring softly, and I couldn't help but stare at him. I laid my head back on his shoulder and fell asleep once again. I woke up around 6, and made Alex some breakfast. He woke up and saw two eggs for him with bacon, and toast. And a blue amp because I know how much he likes those. Last night he set out an outfit and I brought that down stairs for him. I called my mom too, and told her the truth. She saw me on T.V apparently on their live broadcast. She was very disappointed but she said she knew it would happen sometime. I told her I was growing up and need some space and more privileges.
I told her I wasn't sure when I was coming home, and strangely she accepted that. I also told her that Alex and I were dating and I would give her details when I got back. I told her I loved her and she said she loved me too, but there would be a grounding for this. We hung up and I saw Alex was up, dressed, and eating. "Hey sleepyhead." I said. "Ready for this long bus ride with the band?" I asked. "Yeah. I've been anticipating this moment for a long time. We plan on doing a video in between this tour for Damned If I Do Ya too." He finished. "Oh, and you're a good cook." He added. "That's good, well Gaskarth I need a shower. Where's your bathroom? And where are the towels? Should I go home and grab more clothes?" I asked in a rush. "Wait. One thing at a time. Towels and wash clothes are in the bathroom closet. So are razors on case you want to shave." He talked about it like it was no problem, and I liked it. I smiled to myself and he continued.
"Also, I washed your clothes." he finished. "Thanks," I replied. "I'm going to go take a shower" I added. I took a shower and thought of how much I would miss him during tour. I used his bar soap and I decided to get a wash cloth, but use his instead. His body was all over it, what would you expect? I got out the shower to hear yelling outside. There stood Lisa, his girlfriend since high school. They'd been on&off I heard. I was dressed and didn't want to have to do my hair so I just said the hell with it and went outside. I saw them talking, and then what I saw next broke my heart. Lisa and Alex. She was all over him and after just seeing them kiss I ran. I got my stuff and sent Alex a text. I got in my car, and sped home, hoping Matt could give Amy a ride. The text Alex received within seconds said: "Sorry for hoping things would work out. I know you and Lisa had history and sorry for interfering. You can keep in touch if you'd like, but I now know where we stand. I then got a call from Amy and explained everything. Maybe you miss interpreted what was occurring...She said. I don't know, but I did know I was gonna go home and bawl myself to sleep. I asked Matt to stop by at the store and get me some ice cream. Coffee, to be exact. And a bunch of blue amps...Alex got me hooked. I sat at home that night, and then I got a call from a private number. Alex had tried calling me earlier, but I really didn't want to talk right then. I answered the phone and it was Alex. "Can we just talk?" He asked. "Yeah," I replied. But in person I want to go to bed. Good night."
I said and hung up. Jack called me an hour later explaining that Alex didn't kiss her. She apparently wasn't over their last break up and she forced herself upon him. I believed him, and I knew the next day I would apologize to Alex. I got on Twitter and sent Alex a direct message apologizing. The next day we met up at the place we originally met. I apologized to Alex, and he did too. I had no makeup on, a pair of sweatpants, my flip flops, and a tight All Time Low shirt. Nothing could change the way how I felt about the band. I loved the rest of the band like they were my brothers. We had all hung out a lot over the last few days. But Alex was the only one I had loved deeper. We talked things out and he said he didn't know what got into Lisa the last few days. I did. They were a couple since high school. I realized that the song Noel must have been about her too. But I didn't want to think about that now. I wanted to be wrapped up in Alex's arms. I sat down beside him and kissed him gently. He cupped my cheek and he must have saw me crying. He wiped my tears away, and I laid my head against his chest. Then he got out a ring from his pocket. It was his lucky one as he called it. He slip it down my middle finger and he said, "Beth Jenson, you're one crazy girl.
But I'd give anything to be with you." I almost passed out there, but I was sitting down. I kissed him, full of enthusiasm. he slipped his hand into mine and we sat there. He then asked me if I'd ever been a tour bus...I replied with a no. He said he was taking me on tour with him, and I could be with him at all concerts.
And come out and sing Juliet's part when they played remembering Sunday. I was completely in love and I knew it. I asked about my mom and dad, and he said to call them. I was allowed but they wanted to be at every concert too, so we were all together. I dropped out of school, so I could make my life around his schedule. I loved this man and I knew it. I would give up anything to be with him and that I did. I often sang on stage with him, and his tour was very successful. Jack, Rian, and Zack and I hung out too.
It was awesome. I even remember times with Vinny Vegas...and Amy and I often double dated. Me with Alex and her with matt. It was love. And it's still hard to think of the girl I used to be. I guess Alex changed me. In all positive aspects, and I love him more every second of every day. This was my second beginning.
